Today you’ll complete the Ladder Workout (and take advantage of the optional part of the Ladder) then tackle the Core Finisher.

Climb the Ladder Workout – Do 1 rep of each exercise.  Then do 2 reps of each exercise.  Then do 3 of each, 4 of each, climbing the ladder to 10 reps of each exercise.

Optional:  Once you get to 10 for both exercises, climb back down the ladder from 10 back to 1.
